Real Madrid have scored 10 goals in the La Liga this season and Benzema has scored 4 out of the 10.

Benzema grabbed a brace each in Los Blancos’ last two league games against Girona and Leganes, and the player now looks set to go all the way for Los Blancos in their quest for triumph in the La Liga this season.

It can be recalled that the Frenchman scored just 5 league goals in the last campaign as he was very poor in front of goal on the domestic scene.

There were doubts on how the side would cope if the reliance on goals would be on Benzema, but the player has quashed those doubts with his start to life this term. All thanks to Lopetegui’s system.

It is now apparent that Ronaldo’s presence in the Madrid side limited Benzema’s contributions to the side. However, Lopetegui’s arrival and the departure of the Portuguese have given the Frenchman the license to express himself in leading Madrid’s line.

Benzema now has that number 9 spot covered. Hopefully, he continues on his fine run after the international break.
